As an advocate for the protection of Annandale's natural and built heritage, I welcome this statement on local heritage in the Plans for the Eastern District: "A wide variety of local heritage items and heritage streetscapes also form part of the character of centres throughout the District.The conservation and interpretation of places and values of heritage signifcance is required to give current and future generations a beter understanding of history and people’s past experiences. Sympathetic adaptive re-use of heritage is an important way to conserve heritage signifcance. Improved public access and connection to heritage through interpretation is also essential”
Further I put forward my work by way of example of how interpretation can be assisted through:
Guide books and Guided Walks - See Annandale Short Walk Books at: http://ramin.com.au/walks/
Free Online Material - Anecdotal History of Annandale http://ramin.com.au/annandale/story1.shtml and
- Self Guided Walk from Annandale to Sydney with Historical Pictures http://ramin.com.au/annandale/annandale-to-sydney.shtml
You will note that the digitisation programs of the State Archives, National Archives, Australian War Memorial, State Library, Local Libraries and the National Library play a vital part in providing material for the interpretation.
We need to do much more to enable our community to understand their natural environment. The numerous creeks and buried tributaries need to be recognised as natural water ways not simply storm water drains.
We need to recognise the value of our Local Provenance vegetation which provides habitat and food for native animals, while also providing us much needed shade and cooling.
See Cool Trees
http://www.ramin.com.au/creekcare/cool-trees.shtml

School Programs which incorporate components on Local History and Environment would also be useful.
It is disappointing to see that the Greater Sydney Commission has rehashed the 1940s Cumberland Plan for motorways. This is despite the evidence that gridlock is the only possible result of building more streets. Further Sydney siders are turning to Public Transport to get to work, friends, relatives and entertainment. The social, environmental and economic costs of building a metropolis around the private motor vehicle make this plan irresponsible.
The plan should include consideration of:
1. The transition to distributed energy generation and supply in particular in relation to private local photovoltaic solar energy generation and the necessary infrastructure to for example support urban community solar farms.
2. Improving the amenity for passengers at bus stops by providing better pedestrian access, reducing air and noise pollution, providing shade from sun, shelter from rain and information such as bus routes and timetables both digitally and at the bus stop.
3. Reducing noise pollution from aircraft and motor vehicles on homes, schools, restaurants, cafes and public open spaces including footpaths.
4. The expansion and provision of frequent rail services and inter-region high speed rail services.
5. On Pg 13 - with regard to schools and childcare - these need to be accessible by good pedestrian, cycling and public transport infrastructure.
6. Either define an additional glossary or use the Greater Sydney Commission’s glossary to define Public/Open/Green spaces and Public/Mass/Active Transport.
7. Transition to electric buses - including the necessary infrastructure for recharging.
8. Public Transport and night time pedestrian amenity play a vital role in the night time economy to enable workers and patrons to get to and from venues.
9. With regard to the cruise terminals, particularly the one at White Bay, shore power is required
10. Improving Pedestrian Safety and Amenity including shelter, shade, rest places, reducing motor vehicle noise and cooling streets needs to be a priority
11. We need to build liveable walkable Neighbourhood with vegetation to keep them cool and storm water infrastructure that recognises rain water as a vital resource for replenishing soil moisture to enable trees and other vegetation to survive.
12. We need to protect a diversity of industries and employment spaces where embryonic businesses can thrive and become sustainable small businesses.
13. We need to conserve our remnant bushland and re-introduce Local Provenance Biodiversity into street scapes and our parks to survive the changing climate
14. We need a diversity of quality liveable housing stock with high energy and water efficiency with walking access to public transport to enable residents to travel across the city for employment, entertainment, social interaction, medical services and education.

After speaking of the role of painting on the body and on bark, Djambawa sang a walk through the paintings and poles in the gallery. Bark paintings have long been used in land title negotiations. Djambawa was involved in the preparation of paintings (as documents) for the Barunga Statement (1988) and Blue Mud Bay case (2008) He is also a member of the PM's Indigenous Advisory Council.

Early Access to first tapping of our Boysenberry Saison and Audrey Hopburn Wheat Beer in one big launch night.
Tasting Notes:Boysenberry Saison, 5.2% ABV
Fermented using a Belgian yeast strain, with a healthy dose of Boysenberries added post fermentation, this bright ruby saison is dry and effervescent, with a hint of acidity. Tart and refreshing, this Saison is the perfect thirst quencher for the warm summer days ahead.
Audrey Hopburn, 4.6% ABV
This Democratic Ale is Wayward's first crowd sourced beer. Designed by participants of the Tall Boys brew day, the result is a cool fermented Belgian Ale jam packed with big, bold American hops.

Martin is back for his annual appearance @ The Dog taking the spot normally filled by the late & much lamented Danny Spooner. As Martin said since I seem to have acquired a grey beard, I'm going to spread the rumour that Danny left it to me in his will. hehe
Of course no one can replace Danny, so Martin will do his usual material & will have you rolling in the aisles and then throw in something serious when you least expect it with songs about anything from Hobbits to Japanese whaling.
Barbara has sung all her life singing silly songs her father taught her, bastardising the school anthem and then getting serious by toying idly with the classical repertoire. In the late 90s and early naughties she focussed on cappella singing in groups such as Vox Humana and Echolalia until a busy life intervened. In the last few years she has trod the boards of musical theatre but recently found herself back at the folk hearth. She sings folk songs from England, Ireland and the US including some of enchanting beauty. Come along for a lot of fun!

Three Piece Suite: Magic Mozart ConcertAt last the wait is nearly over! We will soon be returning to a venue near you to present our second series for 2017 - Magic Mozart
Of course, the Divertimento K. 563 for string trio, the first really important work for our combination, will be on the program and we are pleased that our friend and colleague James Fortune will be joining us for another one of Mozart's flute quartets. This time he has chosen the Quartet in A major K. 298, an appropriately sunny and light-hearted piece for the season. As well we have found an arrangement of nearly all of the Magic Flute, for flute and strings, made by Mozart's contemporary Franz Heinrich Ehrenfried. Unfortunately time will limit how much of that we can play, but we are in negotiations for all of our favourites!

paintings from France
Perhaps the best works are by Christian Bonnefoi. They consist of huge, confident calligraphic brush-strokes and terrific colour. They’re awash with energy, tension and grace."- Sebastian Smee, Pulitzer prize-winning art critic at the Boston Globe writing in the Sydney Morning Herald in 1997
CHRISTIAN BONNEFOI has had over 100 solo exhibitions in Europe, Asia, USA and Australia since 1977. He had the honour of a major retrospective at the Pompidou museum in Paris in 2008. Bonnefoi lives and works in France. This is his fourth solo exhibition at Annandale Galleries.View Exhibition

YOUNG-HA PARK has had nearly thirty solo exhibitions since 1983 and is a past recipient of the ‘Korean Artist of the Year’.

Phyl has been writing parodies for around 50 years, Paul for a shorter period but they are both master songwriters & why should parodies whose day has gone be forgotten? Tonight we will hear historical & current songs from Phyl & Paul & audience members.
Phyl Lobl is a singer - songwriter - teacher who has been active as a performer at Folk Festivals, mainly in Australia, since just before the first National Folk Festival 1967. She thinks of herself as a Cultural Maintenance Worker who documents the Australian Experience through folklore. As is said in the folklore world, some of her songs have 'entered the tradition', some have been recorded here and overseas, some have been used by authors to illustrate their work which makes them useful. She fought for recognition for Australian Folk music on the Music Board of the Australia Council, for this the Folk Community presented her the Graham Squance Memorial Award in 1986.
Paul Spencer writes quirky comic political folk songs to entertain the activist in you or re-energise the jaded cynic (and sometimes to indulge the cynic, for a bit of fun). Using some folk tunes and some original tunes, Paul’s songs come from the human experience of the social change movement and of living in a world that’s so beautiful, so alarming and so inspiring all at the same time.

Margaret & Bob Fagan began their musical journey together in Canberra in the late 1960s. Since then they have been based in Sydney, but are now resident in the Blue Mountains. They perform at all the major festivals around Australia, both as a duo and as members of their family band, /The Fagans/. Their strong blend of politically-edged traditional and contemporary songs combined with lyrical ballads and great choruses is guaranteed to lift your spirits. Their repertoire is firmly rooted in the folk tradition, with Margaret’s pure voice and Bob’s superb guitar playing combining to ensure their popularity both here and abroad.
*Support - Gerry Myerson*
If unaccompanied singing were like tightrope-walking without a net, Gerry Myerson would spend most of his days in hospital. Instead, he's able to offer audiences anything from Child ballads to childish parodies learned in the schoolyard, from traditional songs of the Appalachians to protest songs of the 1960s, from Tom Lehrer to Stan Rogers, and back again. A mild-mannered Mathematics lecturer by day, he becomes a mild-mannered folksinger by night. A firm believer in starting at the top, his first paying gig was at the National Folk Festival, as the taller member of the father-daughter duo, /B'seder/.

...The upfront payment and approach to agreeing and adjusting milestones for later payments did not adequately protect the Australian Government’s financial interests. Additionally, the provision of the concessional loan did not achieve the Australian Government’s objective of bringing Stage 2 of the project forward by approximately two years.
7. The WestConnex project had not proceeded fully through the established processes to assess the merits of nationally significant infrastructure investments prior to Australian Government funding being committed. This situation was identified in departmental advice to decision makers prior to decisions being taken.
8. Funds have been paid in advance of project needs. Advice provided prior to the first payment (of $500 million in June 2014) identified that a payment of that magnitude was not yet required. The ANAO estimates that as of November 2016, the total cost of amounts provided in excess of project needs since June 2014 has been approximately $20 million.
9. The May 2014 decision to make the $500 million advance payment led to the project being approved without there being any documented analysis and advice to Ministers that the statutory criteria for giving such approvals had been met. Advice seeking the necessary approval for later payments (of $250 million in June 2015, $450 million in June 2016 and $300 million in November 2016) addressed those criteria. But those three milestone payments were designed and administered in a way that did not adequately protect the Australian Government’s financial interests. This was because, in order not to delay payments, milestones were agreed to after the respective event had already occurred or amended shortly before the payment was due to be made where NSW had not met the milestone.
10. Departmental advice to Ministers focused on the benefits of providing a concessional loan to the WestConnex project. The key benefits identified were the:
lower net financial impact on the presentation of the Federal Budget of a loan compared with further grant funding (due to the differences in the accounting treatment of loans and grants, and because a loan would earn interest income and be later repaid);
increased construction activities between 2015‒16 and 2016‒17 from accelerating the second stage; and
potential to reinvigorate the private sector lending market in relation to demand risk toll roads.
11. But the advice to Ministers did not adequately identify or quantify the costs and risks associated with providing a concessional loan. Key issues that detract from the loan providing value for money include:
there is evidence that the loan was not needed to accelerate the second stage of WestConnex and, in any event, the project has not been accelerated to the extent projected by DIRD (by up to two years); and
the interest rate on the loan was set well below comparable market rates with no margin included to cover the Australian Government’s loan administration costs or risks....more
The objective of this audit is to assess whether appropriate steps were taken to protect the Commonwealth's interests and obtain value for money in respect to the $3.5 billion in Commonwealth funding committed to the NSW Government for the WestConnex project...more

Schubert's songs are almost unparalleled in their ability to speak very personally to the listener. Whilst the Austrian composer created over 500 songs in his short lifetime, a group of them based on core themes stand out amongst the very finest songs ever written.
"The Wanderer" tells not only of the physical journeys of a man, but also his travels through life and the questions which surround him.
Koen van Stade (tenor) and Amanda Miller (piano) present a mesmerising selection of this and other songs, all of which strike nerves within us all in their sense of solitude within our enormous world.
